Manuscript in Dutch written in one hand in a neat 17th-century hand cursive hand. With 65 coat of arms almost all of them coloured by hand. Also with some spaces for coats of arms left blank. A loose leaf added to volume with 34 ink-drawn and contemporary hand-coloured small coats of arms with accompanying text written in a cursive 17th-century hand. 2 volumes. 4 plus 1 loose leaf; 8 ll. Very interesting manuscript genealogies of two highly important Dutch noble families originating from the city of Culemborg and the village Beusichem south-east of Utrecht together with their allied Dutch Flemish and Hainaut families running from ca. 925 till ca. 1650 latest entry in the manuscript dated 1654. Both volumes are written in the same hand probably in the third quarter of the seventeenth century and elaborately illustrated with different hand-coloured coat of arms. The first volume contains coat of arms from among others important Dutch families as Uytten Enge Raephorst Bronckhorst Vyanen-Rijsenburg Borre van Amerongen Taets van Amerongen and Reness; the second volume also contains coat of arms from important Dutch but also Flemish and Hainaut families such as Arckel Vyanen-Montfoort Weerdenburg Egmont Reiffenscheyt Lalaing Pallant-Cocq van Nerynen Poelgeest Nievelt Merode Mathenesse etc. In this first volume a leaf with a genealogy is inserted. This leaf was written by the Utrecht historian and genealogist Arnoldus Buchelius 1565-1641 who composed many leaves with family trees and coloured coats of arms for wealthy Dutch noble families. The present leaf concerns the Cuylemburch and Rysenburch family. Altogether beautifully written in a neat 17th-century hand the manuscript is not only visually appealing but it also provides a rich history of some of the most important families from the Low Countries from the 10th till the 17th century.With the bookplate of Edwin Jaquet Sellers 1865-1945 on the front paste-downs with his engraved coat of arms. Sellers wrote many works on heraldry and genealogy of English American but also Dutch families. Also with some additions to the loosely inserted leaf and a few later marginal annotations. Some very minor foxing some very light browning overall in very good condition. hardcover
1750ABC_46340The Netherlands 1750. Oblong 8vo ca. 10.5 x 16 cm. 18th-century gold-tooled calf gold-tooled spine each board with a double-fillet frame a centrepiece and four cornerpieces gilt edges green cloth ties. Manuscript on paper written in brown and black ink in several - 17th- 18th- and 19th-century hands. With a full-page unidentified coat-of-arms showing three salamanders drawn in brown ink and a page containing 6 smaller crests of branches of the Roorda family in black ink. 1 blank 5 3 blank 20 1 blank 1 78 blank ll. Manuscript family chronicle incorporating multiple chronicles from the 17th and 18th century. The manuscript chronicles the births and deaths of four generations of the Bos Werdolen or Verdole and Roda family in Amersfoort Groningen The Hague Scheveningen IJsselstijn Tiel Deventer Kampen Zuilen and Edam. The book was probably compiled by Dirk Daniel Roda 1726-1898 a lieutenant in the infantry and later beer brewer shortly after the death of his father in 1747. It incorporates chronicles by his father Michiel Roda 1686-1747 his maternal grandfather Jacob Werdolen chronicling 1668-1686 Jacob Werdolen's father Hendrik van Werdolen a note from 1639 and a copy by Hendrik's wife Barbera Bos born 1596 of the chronicle written by her father chronicling 1577-1601.The different chronicles are interleaved with notes by Dirk Daniel Roda which supply additional biographical information. In several pages he describes the his own Roorda ancestors in the 17th century and the process by which they changed their name to Roda. Other notes chronicle the origins of the Roorda family crest of which he has drawn the known six versions. A full-page coat-of-arms containing three salamanders was possibly drawn by Barbera Bos. Although this specific crest could not be identified it probably refers to a branch other than "Bos" meaning forest or wood in her family.With the bookplate of Eltjo Aldegondus van Beresteyn 1876-1948 on the front paste-down. Also with his library label on the front board. Van Beresteyn was very interested in genealogy explaining his possession of the present family chronicle and founded the Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie CBG.

66896Ephemera. Four pages of genealogy on two loose leaves 6 1/2 x 10 1/4" which appear to have come from a family Bible. The pages are divided into columns with the following headings: Births; Deaths; Marriages. One page lists the births of Joseph A. Young's parents Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell. On the reverse the marriages of Joseph A. Young and his family members are listed. The second page lists the children of Joseph A. Young and Mary Ann Ayres in the "Births" column. The days of the week along with "G S L City" are listed next to their names and the dates of their births often with the exact time listed as well. On the verso of this page the "Deaths" of their children are listed Mary Thornton Young Elsie Vilate Josephine Young Alice Young and others. Joseph Angell Young 1834-1875 was Brigham Young's eldest son. He was born October 14 1834 in Kirtland Ohio. He came to Utah in an early day and actively participated in the affairs of the new settlement as a frontiersman. He also played an important role in emigration affairs and he is known for enduring bitter storms and biting frosts during one of the harshest winters in order to successfully rescue the belated hand-cart companies of that season. In addition he built and was the first superintendent of the Ogden-Salt Lake line the old Utah Central and was among the promoters of the Utah Southern. In 1872 Young was appointed to preside over the Sevier district of the Church spanning from Gunnison to Kanab. Two years later the settlements on the Sevier were organized as the Sevier Stake of Zion and Elder Young was appointed to preside over this Stake. He held this position until his death taking a significantly active part that tended to build up and strengthen the new settlements as well as introducing the United Order to the Saints on the Sevier. In Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I Andrew Jenson cites a passage published by Deseret News following Young's death: "Elder Young was esteemed for his many estimable qualities of heart as well as head. He was a man of naturally keen intelligence his mental qualities even reaching what might be termed brilliancy in some directions while his generosity was proverbial especially among the working classes all who were ever in his employ holding him in esteem for his universally kind and fair treatment." Andrew Jenson also points out that "On account of the persecutions of the 'Mormon' people he Joseph A. Young was deprived of the advantage of an early education but was a discriminating and passionate reader and at the time of his death had perhaps the finest private library in the Territory."<br /> <br /> Two leaves from a Family Record which contain the genealogy of an important family descending from Brigham Young and significant to the history of Utah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. - Information obtained from "Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I" by Andrew Jenson. unknown

77937Small archive of genealogical material associated with Archibald Leard Taylor 1853-1946 largely compiled by his wife Fannie Elizabeth Taylor née Hawley 1855-1936. An announcement in the Oakland Tribune on June 29 1917 concerning the marriage of their daughter Elva notes “Until a few years ago the Taylors made their home in the East Oakland district where they were numbered with the earlier pioneers.â€<br /> <br /> Born in Salzburg Pennsylvania Archibald Leard Taylor travelled to California around 1878 with his brother Dr. William Stewart Taylor 1847-1931.

This passage is followed by a lively account of his pursuit of permanent work in San Francisco which resulted in a position with W.J.

No account of the success of this endeavor could be found and by 1930 Alexander and Fannie had established a retirement home in San Leandro California.<br /> <br /> Compiled by Fannie with the assistance of relatives genealogical societies and other sources this collection of material includes documentation that establishes a connection with Zachary Taylor the 12th president of the United States.
